11 more Republican senators join Josh Hawley’s authoritarian sedition caucus lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/01/11-mor…
Hawley, Cruz et al. are using literal Jim Crow logic. And don't take my word for it, they're using the infamous panel that gave Republicans the presidency in exchange for ending Reconstruction *as their affirmative model*: 
The theory of Hawley, Cruz, et al. is that urban voters, disproportionately voters of color, must be disenfranchised so that white rural voters whose candidate lost don’t feel disenfranchised. That’s it. These 12 Senators are flat-out enemies of American democracy.
We should also be clear that this isn't about being scared of Donald Trump. Many of these senators aren't even up next cycle. They affirmatively believe that Republicans are entitled to govern even if voters prefer Democrats.
